I'll review this article shortly. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 06:13, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the issues I found:

"and all the kids in school would start taking the mickey out of it." is that quote written right? doesn't sound so to me, but it could just be slang I'm unfamiliar with. Either way, try making this long one a blockquote; if it doesn't look good that way then it doesn't need to stay like that, but just offering the suggestion.
The quote is written correctly and it is a common expression in the UK. There is a Wiktionary entry wikt:take the mickey, showing that it is Cockney rhyming slang. Would it be a good idea to link to the Wiktionary page? Anemone Projectors 19:24, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"Norwood revealed his contract had been extended to December 2010, saying that the producers saw "some future in Fatboy", though he did not know what would happen after that." Now that December 2010 is past, any updates on a contract situation?
It's actually unusual to know when an actor's contract has been extended or renewed, normally we only find out when it hasn't been and they are going to be leaving. Nothing has been reported since so we can only assume it was renewed again. Anemone Projectors 19:24, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
There are several comma issues in the storyline where ones should be added but aren't. Added one myself for guidance there.
I've added in a few commas where I thought they were needed though I'm not sure if I added too many or too few. If there are more comma problems, would you be able to fix them? Anemone Projectors 19:24, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not too much to fix. I'll put the article on hold and pass it upon these being fixed. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 17:42, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That looks good now. I went and added the wiktionary link. Only remaining problem is that I found a deadlink. The information was there, so I just removed the URL; if you can find an online source or a archive url for that though, do so. Anyway, the article now passes as a GA.

Thanks. I will try to find an archive url or another source. The same source is used in some other articles. Anemone Projectors 21:25, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
